Instructional Video of a Standardized Interprofessional Postsimulation Facilitator-guided Debriefing of a Fatality in Plastic Surgery

Background:. Postsimulation facilitator-guided debriefing (PSFGD) is the process of intentional discussion of thoughts, actions, and events that took place during simulation amongst the facilitator(s) and trainees.

description Background:. Postsimulation facilitator-guided debriefing (PSFGD) is the process of intentional discussion of thoughts, actions, and events that took place during simulation amongst the facilitator(s) and trainees. Despite the significance of delivering high-quality debriefings, there is a lack of evidence-based guidelines. Our study aimed to provide an instructional video demonstration of a PSFGD of a fatality. Methods:. Fifty surgical interns participated in a burn simulation scenario in two groups. Group 1 (control, or “no exposure,” n = 25) consisted of residents who received oral postsimulation debriefing from an independent faculty member who had no exposure to our instructional video on how to debrief effectively. Group 2 (intervention, or “exposure,” n = 25) consisted of interns who were debriefed by the second faculty member who did watch our instructional video before the simulation and learned about “advocacy and inquiry” techniques. The outcome measures were the Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare score and the postdebrief multiple-choice question (MCQ) quiz scores to assess debriefers’ performance and interns’ knowledge consolidation, respectively. Results:. The “exposure” group presented statistically significantly higher values for the Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare score (P < 0.001) and MCQ score (P < 0.001) compared with the “no exposure” group. Conclusions:. Debriefers who followed the methodology as demonstrated in our instructional video were considered more competent, and the residents achieved higher MCQ scores. The quality of the debriefing ensures improved critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Safer practice and better patient outcomes are achieved by developing debriefing programs for educators.
